Accomplish Something
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsYesterday was a fulfilling day for me. It was one of those days where I felt I had really accomplished something. I finished a rather large project I had been working on and it felt good to feel that sense of accomplishment for having done so. Accomplishing something makes you feel good because it activates…

Time
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsHave you ever noticed how time seems to drag when waiting for something, but flies by if you’re up against a deadline? It’s something that has always intrigued me. We tend to think of time as being finite. It consists of seconds, which become minutes, which becomes hours, which becomes days, which becomes weeks, which…

Commitments
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI’m one of those people who sometimes makes too many commitments. I box myself into committing to do something and don’t leave a means with which to back out. I become committed; therefore, I must complete the task. I’ve always believed integrity is the only thing a person will ever truly own. Everything else is…

Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsJune will be here before we know it and June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month. That makes it a great time for all of us to get involved in getting the word out about MG.

Today’s Peace
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsPeople with Myasthenia Gravis need to see their neurologist on a schedule the neurologist deems appropriate. Yesterday was one of those visits for me. I don’t get nervous seeing my neurologist. He’s so good to me and has helped me so much that I view these appointments as a means for us to communicate on…

Waiting
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsPatience has never been one of my virtues. When I’m anticipating something, I want it today…..now. I don’t want to worry about it; I want it to be here right now so I can deal with it. I don’t like ambiguity, I don’t like indecisiveness, I don’t like being out of control. Even if it’s…
